| Description: |
Rokudenashiko's mission is to demystify female genitalia, a mission that has led to a vulva-shaped kayak and her arrest. |
| Synopsis: |
Rokudenashiko's story is a fascinating one that transcends its Japanese origin to hit at the heart of women's rights concerns around the world. Her story has been covered in a diverse range of media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, The Daily Show, Le Monde, Kotaku, Cosmopolitan, and The Guardian. With wit, charisma and an indefatigable spirit of upbeat fearlessness, Rokudenashiko challenges the system in a way only an artist can, by revealing injustice and hypocrisy through humor and absurdity. Unlike other artists charged with obscenity, Rokudenashiko would not be shamed or stopped. As a dissident contemporary artist, Rokudenashiko should be considered in the same breath as Pussy Riot and Ai Weiwei (who has emerged as a strong supporter of Rokudenashiko).Edited by Anne Ishii and Graham Kolbeins and translated by Ishii, a writer, translator and proprietor of the gay manga paraphernalia brand MASSIVE.Cover by Chip Kidd, arguably the most well-known and influential designer of the past two decades. |
